Temperature

Domain: NLP Fundamentals

🎯 Motivation

Controls randomness in text generation. Low temperature is focused and safe; high temperature is creative and risky.

📋 Concrete Example

Temperature 0.1: model always picks likely words (boring but safe). Temperature 1.5: more random, sometimes creative, sometimes weird.

🔗 Analogy

Like a thermostat for creativity - low means stay calm and predictable, high means get wild and experimental.
